Density – Why does a huge ocean liner float yet a tiny penny will sink? We explore the concept of density to answer this question and more

Session Six

Experiments With Icebergs – Fun experiments that focus on exploring the properties of ice.

Agar and Growing Bacteria and Fungi – Students will grow germs from classroom surfaces, make microscope slides of their specimens and then observe them with a microscope

Friction – We explore the force of friction with hands on activities and amazing demonstrations

Electricity and Circuits – Student will explore how electricity and electrical components work and will then test these concepts by constructing switches, simple circuits and even a radios

The Science of Bubbles – Participants explore the unique properties of water, surface tension, surfactants and solvents. This is put to use as we create bubbles in a multitude of different sizes, shapes and configurations and then test how they behave, how light travels through them and much more.
